Umar Nurmagomedov

Umar Nurmagomedov holds a 20-1-0 professional record and competes as an Orthodox stance fighter at bantamweight. A well-rounded mixed martial artist, Nurmagomedov operates as a control-oriented wrestler with supplementary striking, averaging 4.03 takedowns per 15 minutes while maintaining a strong 79% takedown defense rate.

His striking output of 3.86 strikes landed per minute at 56% accuracy reflects his secondary focus, though he absorbs just 1.86 strikes per minute with a 61% defensive rate, indicating measured approach work. Submission remains a viable finish avenue at 0.2 per 15 minutes.

Recent results showcase his consistency: Nurmagomedov earned unanimous decisions over Mario Bautista (October 2025), Bekzat Almakhan (March 2024), and most notably Deiveson Figueiredo (January 2026), punctuated by first-round submission of Brian Kelleher (March 2022) and a first-round KO of Raoni Barcelos (January 2023). His sole recent blemish came via unanimous decision loss to Merab Dvalishvili in January 2025, a significant setback against the division's elite.

Nurmagomedov's technical wrestling foundation and defensive acumen position him as a dangerous contender in the bantamweight division's upper echelon.
